Teamwork with partner
ICE- asking why?
Nearly every single feedback form I read said “ICE in more detail- ask why?”
The mother was worried because the baby was not kicking
Why was she worried?
What did she think this may signify?
Why did they think in that way?
What did they expect would happen?
The mother did not want to go to antenatal classes
Why not?
Why did she think they would make her worry?
The mother was concerned about downs syndrome due o her age
Has she got expeiriance of downs syndrom children?
How would it effect her pregnancy?
How would it impact her life?
Mum got on well with the midwife
Why is that important to her?
The mum felt lucky not to have morning sickness
How would it have effected her?
ALWAYS ASK- WHY DID YOU FEEL LIKE THAT?
Methodology
Gathering information
This study was essentially qualitative. Information was obtained from:
Semi-structured interviews. My partner and I took turns at asking questions (open and closed) and taking down notes.
Observing- General observations were helpful in drawing a picture of the family and Loretta’s experience.
GP notes and antenatal records
Textbooks, Internet, lectures and seminars helped to prepare questions for each visit.
Data triangulation was achieved by comparing information gathered from the family with GP and antenatal records, and talking to Loretta’s GP.
Ethical issues - We made sure that the family was aware that all information would be confidential, and names would be anonymised. We stressed that should Loretta not wish to participate in the study anymore, she could withdraw at any point. Informed consent was obtained before viewing any records and discussing sensitive issues.
